Framed in Lace by Monica Ferris
I obtained this 1999 paperback at a recent silent auction where it was a part of a Minnesota Mystery package. Yep, more to come, but this seemed the cosiest. This past weekend I was in great need of a comforting cosy mystery. Now, murder as cosy? comforting? Yes, to some one brought up on escaping to Agatha Christie, Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, or Anne Perry; yes, comforting.
What surprised me was that I enjoyed the crafty slant. I am not a crafty person, I am a crafty-wannabe person. There are my materials purchased, half-started projects: chair-caning, quilting, knitting, cross-stitching, scrap-booking....
My husband is the natural at this in our family, a regular Martha Stewart. He can decorate cakes, sew quilts, cross-stitch everything from wall-hangings to ornaments to hand-towels, finish furniture, and cook magnificent one-of-a-kind meals.
Lucky for him I continue to keep him around as my Boy-toy so he can pursue all these arts and crafts.
